I opened Micro out of curiosity as it’s installed on Garuda Mokka by default. ROFL It’s just an unseasoned barebones window, but some people like that kind of note taking. I would prefer Kate over Micro. If I had to choose (Kate is better for configurations or Python scripts that you don’t need to debug yet).
That’d be because micro doesn’t do a window, or at least doesn’t need one. It’s a terminal text editor, which some people prefer in general, but it can also be used without a graphical environment - like when SSHing into a server or recovering your system if the graphical environment breaks. Or if you’re editing critical system configs with sudo and want to do it from tty with a simple editor to minimize points of failure.
Yeah, I did mention that some people prefer a more barebones experience…But, I also recognize that it doesn’t fit my own use case. Based on what you said, Micro has a solid use for situations where there isn’t a graphical environment or need to minimize complication when working with critical system configs. There are levels of minimalism that I can’t truck with, so I will let people enjoy Micro without serious critique. Just casually poking fun at the idea…
I guess it doesn’t seem like it to me on the surface, as there must be a config file that needs to be edited to get those enabled because I couldn’t find evidence of that on my basic inspection. So I decided to try out Obsidian, as I have been using Standard Notes, Filen and other such things for my notes. I might give it a go again at some point…

micro is surprisingly powerful and has a good chunk of plugins you can use. it’s def my favorite and it’s really approachable.
